A new tool to help find housing. 29.06.11 - EPFL and UNIL have put a new application online to help students and property owners manage and consult housing listings. The application uses GPS positioning and calculates routes to avoid unpleasant commuting surprises. Finding housing before the semester begins is a major issue for new students.
Whether it’s a room in a private home, an apartment or a flat shared with other students, the budget and the commute are two essential factors to take into consideration. And if it’s a tough issue for Swiss students, it’s even tougher for studnets coming from abroad. Advantages of the new tool GPS positioning: It’s possible to see where the listing is located using the application. Calculate your commute: You can determine how long it will take to travel between home and campus, depending on your mode of transport. Provide secure housing listings: “In order to avoid scams, announcements placed by private individuals are screened.

Hello, We launched Ta-da List back in January of 2005 so everyone could have a fast and free to-do list app in their web browser.
There wasn’t much out there that was good in 2005. My, how things have changed. Now there are dozens and dozens of great free to-do list apps on the web and dozens more on the iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone. Because we haven’t given Ta-da List much attention in the last few years, and as part of refocusing our efforts on Basecamp — we’ve decided to retire Ta-da List. Ta-da List will no longer be signing up new customers.
But don’t worry — any to-do lists you already created here at TadaList.com will continue to work. Thanks to everyone who used Ta-da List over the years.

Hello, We launched Writeboard back in October of 2005 as a stand-alone service. A few years later we integrated Writeboards into Basecamp Classic and Backpack. Today, the vast majority of Writeboards are created inside those two products. As part of refocusing on Basecamp, we’ve decided to retire Writeboard.com.
You’ll still be able to create Writeboards inside Basecamp Classic and Backpack, but you’ll no longer be able to start new stand-alone Writeboards here at Writeboard.com. But don’t worry — any Writeboards you already created here at Writeboard.com will continue to work. Thanks to everyone who used Writeboard.com over the years.

The New York Times Your The Boss Blog had a post How a Small Business Becomes a Big Business There are many reasons why businesses grow and fail.
My insights from the blog are: Scalability & ReplicabilityGrowing through a series successful incremental stepsTaking a mulitgenerational point of view that allows a 40 plus year business plan There is more to growing a business than "the numbers and customer service" and I wish to reframe things a bit. For many entrepreneurs, 10% annual compounded growth would be a big yawn. Customer Service in today's environment is neutral and many businesses look at customer service as fixing problems. A small business becomes a big business through avoiding small thinking and developing Scalability and Replicability into their business.
I believe a large component of their success… they are a family business. Family Businesses tend to look very long term because a family is long term, transitioning from one generation to the next. All the best! Connect: Social media news, strategy, tools, and techniques.

Center for Healthy Communities >> Home Page. The California Endowment. World Heritage Site. A UNESCO World Heritage Site is a place (such as a forest, mountain, lake, island, desert, monument, building, complex, or city) that is listed by UNESCO as of special cultural or physical significance.[1] The list is maintained by the international World Heritage Programme administered by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, composed of 21 states' parties[2] which are elected by their General Assembly.[3] The programme catalogues, names, and conserves sites of outstanding cultural or natural importance to the common heritage of humanity.
Under certain conditions, listed sites can obtain funds from the World Heritage Fund. The programme was founded with the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage,[4] which was adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO on 16 November 1972. Since then, 190 states parties have ratified the Convention, making it one of the most adhered to international instruments. History[edit] Convention and background[edit] Gallery. Some Insights into Marc Andreessen’s New Venture Capital Firm, Andreessen Horowitz « The Mark Bao Journal. Gist: Andreessen, founder of Netscape, and Horowitz start forward-thinking venture capital firm with a fund of $300 million, investing $50k to $50 million. They prefer technical founders, and like technical CEOs. They want to understand the technology and the product well, instead of viewing from a distance, and aren’t interested in areas they don’t have experience in (unlike many VC firms.)
However, the firm is difficult to contact, but it’s a radical and forward-thinking firm. Marc Andresseen, known for founding Netscape Communications (now part of AOL Time Warner (TWX)) and Ben Horowitz have started Andresseen Horowitz, a $300 million technology venture fund. Andressen notes on his blog the launch and the details of the fund. They are investing $50,000 to $50 million into technology startups. Andreessen and Horowitz have built a venture fund that is special in a few ways. First, Andreessen Horowitz is a very focused venture capital firm. It’s also quite small in makeup.

Welcome to the online home of Sustainable Seattle! — Funny Money. Serious Business. | Dibspace. A Happy economy? The GNH Metric. John de Graff, author and filmmaker of “Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic” and writer of “What’s the Economy For Anyway” and founder of Take Back Your Time gave a fantastic brownbag tonight for Sustainable Seattle. Here is a summary. Gross National Happiness is the measure Bhutan uses instead of the Gross National Product (GNP).
Bhutan uses GNH to form policies and law, allocate resources and take action, just as the US uses the GNP. So what is the GNH? What is the point of working such long hours, messing up the environment, allowing our health, community and family to fall into dilapidation just so we can have more stuff? How is GNH measured? The Seattle City Council is looking into adopting the approach Greater Victoria took. Gross National Happiness: USA gnhusa.org. The World Bank. Survey: Financial Sector the "Achilles’ Heel" of Global Recovery. Commuters walk past a bank: new rules on bank capital and liquidity are an improvement, but more reforms are needed (photo: Fabrice Coffrini/AFP) IMF Survey online October 5, 2010 Financial system still vulnerable despite ongoing recovery Funding risks for banks and governments a major concern Financial reforms remain unfinished Progress to restore global financial stability has suffered a setback in advanced economies, the International Monetary Fund said in its latest Global Financial Stability Report, with markets still sensitive to negative surprises.
While the outlook in the Global Financial Stability Report is for continued recovery and a gradual improvement in financial stability, considerable risks remain. Rising public debt burdens, funding challenges for banks, and increased uncertainty about the next phase of the recovery have prevented a return of confidence.

Douglas Carswell MP Introduces Bill to Stop Fractional Reserve Banking — Positive Money. Written by Ben Dyson (Positive Money) on . A significant point in history happened at about 1.30pm this afternoon. Douglas Carswell MP announced a bill that would end fractional reserve banking.
It’s produced below in full (directly from Hansard), but I’ve added some explanatory comments in [brackets]. The bolding is mine. The bill passed to a second reading, which will be held on Friday 19th November 2010. “Mr Douglas Carswell (Clacton) (Con): I beg to move, “That leave be given to bring in a Bill to prohibit banks and building societies lending on the basis of demand deposits without the permission of the account holder; and for connected purposes. [Demand deposits are bank account deposits that can be withdrawn on demand - you don't need to give any notice before demanding your money back, for example.]
